  • Abstract
    The paper reports on a 1996 incident in the Greek power system that had all the characteristics of voltage instability and the subsequent analyses and countermeasures. Voltage stability analysis is performed by both NTUA and ULg software tools that give identical simulation results. After the upgrades performed by PPC a considerable increase in the maximum power that can be fed to the Athens area is achieved. Finally, secure operation limits of the upgraded system are calculated
